3. 3 Dimensional Quilt BoM - Last block is the class tomorrow so am starting to sew them together. I am doing it as a wall hanging for the wall at the end of the hall so my finished quilt dimensions will seem a little odd.

4. Need a new quilt for the bed so been working on a paper pieced design of Carol Doak's called Simply Radiant. Still need to make 6 more star type blocks and 8 more connecting blocks. After that I will do some other type of star blocks for another round.

Sorry that I haven't been posting but with one thing or another cropping up haven't felt up to it. Having trouble concentrating on my crafts which really sucks :(

I had open heart surgery in May 2011. Am still having some issues but nothing like before. My husband has been out of work since beginning of Sept so the stress level is pretty high. That isn't good for me. Now our neighbors which until the last few days have been pretty decent (they rent the house and have been there for several months) are having problems with their dog. He has escaped 3 times in as many days that I know of. That in itself would normally be no big deal BUT my baby is a 4 1/2 year old Pomeranian, there is also a Chihuahua in the house. The neighbors dog is a pit bull or pit bull cross. See the problem. Stress level even higher.

Hopefully you can understand why I haven't been feeling up to posting and why I can't concentrate on any of the crafts. When I do work on them I manage to muck things up.

I am sure we have all had weeks like this past one has been for me. Between not feeling well and everything I touched going wrong I took the weekend off. Guess what it is still happening. Went to start sewing this morning and now have to sit and unsew a bunch :(

Didn't get much finished this last week. Been working on a few largish projects so won't have anything to show for a bit yet.

4. Got my February Angel done pattern is from this yahoo group http://groups.yahoo.com/group/SeasonsBOM/

5. Got the Aurifil Designer of the Month picture for Feb done. Pattern is from http://auribuzz.wordpress.com/2012/02/01/february-aurifil-designer-of-the-month-sherri-falls/ I didn't use Aurifil threads :( Don't have any but am hoping to win some to play with.

So as you can see I am always busy. Need to keep those hands busy and out of mischief. Feel free to upload some pictures of your projects from this week.

About Me

I have been doing crafts of one type or another for the past 30+ years. Recently got very interested in digitizing and quilting (which includes the paper piecing, applique & patchwork). While I need another hobbie like I need a hole in the head am always on the look out.
